do you use propane with this slow cooker?

The stock pot that I purchased is just the pot/insert and not the heating unit. But yes it is meant for a propane heating source (if purchased as a complete set).

Yes but you have to have the right propane stove to hook it up so don't buy like I did not knowing you need a special stove that cost alott

I use a small funnel. I run the sensor & wire through the small end of the funnel. This surrounds the sensor with liquid. In addition, I purchased a small stainless steel cooling rack that fits into the bottom of the slow cooker. I believe it aids the circulation of cooking liquid.

Yes if the valve in back of heater is set to LPG instead of NG(Natural Gas), Propane can be used.

Hi, I have the Hamilton Beach 33140 oval slow cooker. It doesn't come with recipes, but it does have guidelines to use the slow cooker. If you follow the exact guidelines, your food cooks faster than stated, so check after 2 hours on high. Enjoy.

Nope. If you've used a slow cooker before, just know that you are going to cut most recipes in half. I use mine for making steel cut oatmeal (it's ready for the two of us when we wake up). I also have a slow-cooker taco meat recipe (found online) and I make one pound of meat instead of the two pounds the recipe calls for. I love not having to clean out my huge slow cooker. This little one is perfect!

Glad I saw your question. I just cooked a great dinner in it as a slow cooker and it worked fine. The first time I've used it that way. Usually I use it as a roaster on a much higher temperature and it's great for soups, stews, and the like. I LOVE mine - and recently replaced one I had had for 20 years because it is a staple at my house. It's my favorite gift for new brides and of course, all my family members have one.

It can be a slow cooker, but due to its small size I have never used it in that aspect. Definitely worth the price. I have used mine for triple chocolate fondue, cheese fondue, Mexican night (beans, cheese and meat) etc.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that. I only bought this stove to use in emergencies after our terrible ice storm in February. I only plan to use the small 1# disposable propane containers. I also bought a propane heater and also plan to use the small propane containers. I did test this stove and the heater, and both started up beautifully. I hope I NEVER have to use either of these products. An ice storm here (South Carolina) is a rare event, but this was a bad one, with power out everywhere, which means: no heat in the house. I never go camping, so I would not be able to answer your question. Sorry.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

It is made to use with a propane tank, although I believe they make an electric version. It is a very good cooker.

absolutely you can slow cook, they have medium low and high heats selections, i use medium for the all day slow cooking and when i come in I check it and turn it to low so it keeps but does not overcook.

I wouldn't use it as a slow cooker. Sometimes the area near where the control plugs in can have a hot spot. I was trying to make a roast on low, simmer, and the liquid kept coming to a boil. Crock pot's if you don't have one are the way to go for slow cooking. I have a rival that has an automatic feature that after 4, 6 hrs on high or 8 to 10 hours on low after time is up it goes to warm. Can't beat it for slow cooking. As far at the electric skillet it's great for frying, making pancakes ect. I hope this helps you.

No it does not. If you leave it and forget it, it will continue to heat the crap out of whatever you have in there, at whatever setting you have it on. So just make sure you time yourself. It's great though. We make everything in it. Just turn it on low, that's why it's a slow cooker. it's fine.

Yes, I see no problem with using the Propane Fuel.I use an Electric Stove and it works GREAT...no problems.

Hey Paul ~ the burner uses propane. I will share that this was a Christmas gift and used for the first time this past weekend. The recipients loved it! I hope this helps.

If it did, it was just a few (I have had my original crock pot recipe book for 35 years...). You can use any slow cooker recipe. Found tons on the internet. However, this one runs a little hotter than my old ones. It does have a "keep warm" option on it. I'm really happy with it.
